Equipment

1 bread maker

Ingredients

800 ml milk (it depends on the type lactic acid bacteria with probiotics)
1 packet lactic acid bacteria with probiotics (lactobacillus)

Instructions

I’m lazy, so I chose to use the milk from the Tetra Pak that didn’t need to be cooked because it was already pasteurized, and all I have to do now is just pour it into the bread machine.
Then add a packet of lactic acid bacteria with probiotics. I chose this randomly in the supermarket because I saw that it contains probiotics. I can always see probiotics in articles or various advertisements saying that they can promote the peristaltic movement of the intestines and improve digestive function.
Then mix the milk and the lactic acid bacteria well with a clean spoon scalded in boiling water. Due to the fermentation reaction of lactic acid bacteria, a large amount of foam is produced during mixing. Proper foam is beneficial as it ensures an even distribution of the whey in the yogurt, resulting in a more homogeneous and stable yogurt.
After mixing, put it in the bread maker. Be careful, don’t let the milk spill out! Prevent the inside of the bread machine from not staying dry.
Cover it with tin foil. The purpose of tin foil is not only to maintain the humidity inside the bread machine so that the yogurt can ferment more easily but also to insulate it from oxygen, thus reducing the oxidation of the yogurt. Make sure the inside of the bread maker is dry to prevent the tin foil from getting wet.
Set the bread maker to yogurt-making mode. It’s been very cold in Shanghai lately, plus I’m too lazy to heat the milk. So I set it twice. Then just set it aside and wait for the bread maker to finish the process. When finished, remove the yogurt into an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator.
